Hey everyone!
So, after I watched Divergent(which was just epic, and I loved it so so much), the idea for this one-shot suddenly came to my mind. This happens one year after Dauntless initiation, and the war never occurred.
What if Tris never told Tobias about her sixth fear? What if she showed him instead? This is my take on what could have happened if Tris had let Tobias in her fear landscape.
Happy reading!

*Tris POV*
"But it's your birthday!" I protested. "How can you not want presents?"
Tobias shrugs. "Maybe it's because we never got presents in Abnegation. It's alright, Tris. I really don't want anything anyway. I have practically everything I need."
I push myself up to a sitting position. "It is not alright! Everyone deserves presents on their birthday!"
Tobias sighs. "You're not going to let this go, are you?"
I shake my head stubbornly.
It was a year after Dauntless initiation, and we were training the new initiates. Today was Saturday, and it was a break for the initiates and us between stages one and two.
Tobias had not even told me it was his birthday. It was Zeke who had let me in on it.
And naturally, I was more than a little annoyed that my boyfriend of all people didn't even tell me about the day he was born.
We were lying on the bed in his apartment, as I had moved in after I became a Dauntless member. It had been a perfectly normal afternoon, but now I was starting to get angry with him.
Rather than blow up, I stand up and start to walk away. Maybe I would find Christina and go shopping; it would take hardly anything to convince Christina to shop.
Before I can go more than a meter, I feel fingers wrap around my wrists, shackling me, pulling me back towards him.
"What do you want?" I snap at him, twisting around so that our arms are crossed in front of us. I ignore the slight twinge of pain that comes from my twisted arm-pain is no stranger to me, as a member of the Dauntless. It's something you get used to.
His dark eyes are slightly amused, although looking thoughtful as always. "Why are you so upset over this?"
I don't normally speak my thoughts, but I do this time. "Because everyone else can give you presents, and you accept them! I've seen it," I accuse him. He accepted the gifts Shauna, Zeke and Uriah gave him. The only one he doesn't want a present from is me. Even Christina and Will got him something.
I can't help feeling that it's because anything I give him would be worthless.
"I see," he says quietly. "Tris, you've already given me you. That's the greatest gift I could have gotten from anyone. I don't want anything else."
A slight blush makes its way on my cheeks but I refuse to acknowledge it. "I still want to give you something. It's the first gift I'll ever get you as your girlfriend."
He considers this for a minute, and then suddenly a smile makes its way onto his face.
I get slightly nervous. Tobias has become more playful and wicked in the time I've known him, and if I'm sure of anything, it's the fact that that look means nothing good.
"Okay," he says, still with that wicked look on his face. "If you really want to give me something, I have an idea. It's the only thing I want."
"What is it?"
"First, promise me that you'll grant it."
"Tell me what it is first."
"No. First you have to promise me," he says seriously.
"Okay, fine! What is it?"
He looks straight into my eyes. "I want to see your fear landscape."
So, how was it? Should I continue?
Please review and tell me what you think. Till next time!
